    What the heck has happened to Noodles & Co?! My last several visits to the State Street location have been quite mediocre. I remember way back when Noodles was a new thing. Before they had locations all over. The Pesto Cavatappi was my favorite. Oh man, was it good. But now it's just not the same. The pesto flavor is muddled and not very pesto-y. It's just bland. Yesterday there was an unexpected rush of business around lunch, and you could tell. There was a long line of folks waiting for to-go orders, and my food took longer than usual to arrive at the table. People were grumbling, as this is a fast-casual joint after all. The server was apologetic and nice, and it really didn't bother me much. But my food was cold. Cold, bland pesto noodles. At least the parmesan chicken was well-cooked and delicious. Overall, not worth the almost $9 I spent for it. Perhaps I should check out a different location in Madison to see if they are any better.

    Does not travel well. Dumplings were flat, as though they'd been ironed. Pesto noodles were awful, despite adding shrimp. Got part of the order wrong, my friend has a food allergy and ordered accordingly, but got double the ingredient instead of none. Dine in, not out.

    Eh. This is not good food, people. Any restaurant in the area could do noodles better than what they serve as noodle dishes here. I ordered the mac n cheese. Big mistake. Their idea of Wisconsin mac n cheese is a plate of buttered elbow macaroni with the tiniest sprinkle of shredded cheese (was it even cheddar?) I may be a newcomer to Wisconsin, but I refuse to believe that resembled Wisconsin mac in the slightest. Basically I felt like a 5 yr old eating pasta with butter. The noodles were dry and rubbery, like they had either been sitting out too long or reheated in a microwave. Ick. We ate because we were hungry, but vowed never to eat here again. I give 2 stars for three reasons: 1- the staff was friendly. 2- they seemed to be in the middle of a busy rush, so I'm hoping the food is usually slightly better. 3- I only ate here once and I think I would need to give it a second chance to justly say its one star territory.

    This is one of many good Noodles locations at which I have eaten, and it does not disappoint. While the chain may have eliminated my favorite dish (a common experience for me), the options are still varied enough to keep me coming back. There is always plenty of seating at this location, and I am please that they recently added the high end coke machine. I love the flavored dasani waters and the cherry Mello Yello. The portions are always correct, and so far I've always received quick, courteous service. If you are in a hurry for a quick lunch or dinner, I'd recommend stopping here.

    Good affordable food. Has a variety of noodle dishes available so anyone you go with should be happy. I love the pad Thai noodles and the buffalo chicken mac n cheese. Lots of seating and is a good location - good for a quick meal before going to a show or event on state street.

    Was briefly in town for a wedding and decided to pop into this location since I saw them scattered all over town. Got their alfredo dish to go. SOOO YUMMY! I wish I was in town longer to eat it a few more times! Service was quick and friendly. There is a location 3 hours away from me so I'll have to hit one when I have my next road trip.

    Probably the best Noodles I've ever visited, probably mostly due to its interior setup. Three floors? Epic. Location? Epic. Window seating galore? Praise. It's a people watcher's paradise, the tables are great for getting stuff done during lunch or just looking like you're not a complete loner. And, despite what the other reviews may say (ouch, sorry guys), it's pretty hard to mess up my go-to dishes: buttered noodles and the mac & cheese with meatballs.

    I love this restaurant, I don't care what you think. LOVE I'm a carb addict, hardcore. Luckily I'm a running addict as well, and the two go well together. State St. Is my favorite location although it can, at times, get overrun by people. I live near the area so sometimes I call for pickup on my way home from work. They've never gotten my order wrong, ever. I like the dine-in style, I like the consistency, I've never had a bad meal from Noodles. My current favorites: Buttered noodles and Parmesan with chicken and broccoli. Steak stroganoff Spinach and fresh fruit salad with balsamic fig dressing Thai curry soup with shrimp Runners up: Pesto cavatappi Japanese pan noodles Wisconsin Mac Stay away from: The Indonesian peanut sauté and the Bangkok curry. They're fools to believe they can reproduce those dishes, and I will not disappoint myself by ordering them.

    Just paid nine dollars for a large chicken ceasar salad and got all the way home to a few pieces of lettuce and cheese in a To go box. F my life. This review is to always check your orders at this location. It's happened to me three times now. Should've learned my lesson by now about checking they got your order accurate.

    Food is great. Had a good time at the restaurant. Only disappointment was the lady who took our order. She was not at all welcoming. Otherwise overall a good place to have a good food in state street.

    Noodles was the first restaurant I ever ate at in Madison. I came with my mom and sister when I was in high school and I've been a fan ever since! It is a chain, which isn't always my favorite, but I am never disappointed when I stop here. Their Wisconsin Mac & Cheese is comfort food at its finest, but they're recently revamped their menu and some of their newer dishes are a little "fancier".

    I love the Mac n cheese with grilled chicken. Get it every time. This location has two levels. Unfortunately I didn't sit upstairs today. That'll have to wait another day since I have to eat quick and go to work. There is a good amount of tables to choose from so that is great. It does get busy during lunch so good luck finding a good seat.

    A familiar restaurant when the other local restaurants were extremely packed around 9PM on a Saturday night. Food was consistent to what we're familiar with. We thought the layout was incredibly amazing and give it five stars mostly for this!

    The great thing about Noodles & Company is that no matter which one you go to, it's always consistently good. The portions are a little small for my eating habits, but I'm pretty sure they're the size we should be eating. The qualities having now been listed, I need to point out that, while the regular bowl is listed as $5.25, once you add protein ($2.25), a small drink, and tax, the meal costs over $10 - certainly not an economical lunch option.

    I was a tourist in the area and this looked like a good place to get a healthy meal that would taste good too. There are plenty of beer and burger joints around but I wanted something healthier. The day before I had a great burger so today had to be a better choice. This was different than any other place. They have a variety of cuisines represented. Some sandwiches, salads and noodle dishes, Thai, Med, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, a little of all. l had the Med, with chicken, mushrooms, onions, spinach, bell pepper, cilantro, cucumber on a flatbread, with soup or salad $5.99. I had the Thai curry soup and also tried the Bangkok Curry noodle dish Small $4.39/ Lg $5.49. The Med had grilled white meat chicken, with fresh vegetables. The Thai curry soup and the Bangkok Curry noodle dish looked like the same ingredients. The soup just had soup over the noodles, and vegetables. Meat or tofu could be added to the noodle & pasta, and salads. The meat choices, naturally raised pork, Parmesan crusted chicken breast, chicken breast, marinated steak,, shrimp, oven roasted meatballs, and organic tofu for $2.39 to $2.69. Over all I liked the choices, what kind of meat, no meat, size of dishes, and one of those new style touch panel multichoice soda machines. The people were friendly and the service fast. When I got there at about 6PM on a Tuesday nite, there were about 8 people in line to order and it took about 20 minutes from end of line to food. The Med with soup, small Bankok Curry, and a drink for $12.84. Yes! 5 Stars.

    This place was pretty good. I had never been to one of these (Franchise). But its setup pretty cool. You pick a serving size. type of noodle and protein to add and they cook and serve. The prices weren't bad at all either. There were a lot of people ordering the Wisconsin mac and cheese I may have to try that the next time. Id definitely go back.

    We were in Madison on a cycling tour for a week. We ate here four times because it's fast, delicious and reasonably priced. They also are very flexible to make your meal any way you want it. We had the pad thai, spaghetti and meatballs, teriyaki bowl - all were really good. The people are really friendly also. They have two sizes and for $1, you can add a side salad. My husband and I ate for under $20 each time. Such a deal.

    I love the food at Noodles. Always delicious, portions are faily large, selection is great. The service leaves a bit to be desired. The last time I was in, there were approximately three occupied tables in the dining room. Every single other table, aside from one small 2 seat table had dishes and food left on them waiting to bussed. We had to ask to have a table cleared for us before we could sit down. Maybe if the restaurant had been busy at the time, it would be a bit more understandable, but the place was dead.

    I think that Noodles & Company is one of my favorite "fast food" chains, right up with Panera Bread. This is a great place for (relatively) cheap warm meal. So far, I've had the Beef Stroganoff, and the Curry Thai Noodles, and can recommend both of them. I have heard from other the Italian dishes here are not that terrific. But, I have yet to form an opinion on that! Overall, I think this is among healthiest fast food you're gonna get out. These places are packed at lunch time, so try to get there a few minutes early for lunch!

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
